WATER SUPPLY
Strict Economy Essential
An intimation that if the dry weather continued, more drastic restrictions in the use of water could be expected, including the complete prohibition of hosing, was -iven vesterday by the Wellington city engineer, -Mr. K. E. Duke, who said that, due to the increase in demand, there was difficulty in maintaining pressures. Numerous warnings bad been given that gardens and lawns must, not be hosed unless the water first passed through a meter, said Mr. Duke, 'rhe dry spell and drving winds had within the last few days made the position more dillicutt. The difficulty of maintaining pressures was not one of buk supplies but, was the overtaxing of mam capacity into t city, which was using more water than the combined mains could carry from the outer sources of supply.
